Kablemen Win First Game Of Year From Benedictive High Squad

Chapman and McAninch Lead Attack in One-sided

Contest

LEHMAN AND SPICE LOOK PROMISING

The Golden Quintet, Although Rough, Gives Bright Pros-

pects for New Season

Last Thursday night the Staunton Military Academy team opened its season by defeating the previously unbeaten team of Benedictine High of Richmond 47 to 29. This being the initial game of the season it offers splendid prospects for an even more successful year than last season's.

The contest opened rather slowly but as it progressed, the teams got into the swing and soon produced a fast game for the benefit of the spectators. For the first quarter the Richmond team kept things well in hand but the Staunton players soon proved that the visitors were outclassed. At the close of this period the Gold quintet was in the lead by six points. However, by the end of the first half the local team was well in front holding the upper hand of a 23 to 9 score. Many brilliant drives for the basket featured these first periods. Several times both teams had the ball in scoring territory and right below the baskets, but were unable to finish the job.

In the second half the Staunton team used several substitutes and still continued to keep a wide margin. Spice, a newcomer to the S. M. A. team, was ejected from the line-up for personal fouls and later Lineweaver was put out for rought tactics. In spite of this, the second half was featured by clever team work and passing. The Gold quintet misses the accurate passing of Smith, R. M., of last year's team, but his shoes will probably be well filled. Late in the last stanza the visitors made a desperate attempt to overcome the Staunton men's lead, but it was to no avail, and the game ended with the Kablemen leading, 47 to 29.

"Buck" Chapman lead the local team in scoring, making fifteen points. He has thus far shown an improvement in his style of play and according to this he should be one of the most valuable men on the team. This season he has been changed from center to forward. Lehmen, who is playing his first season of the hoop game at this school, made quite an impression. He is rangy, fast, and an accurate passer. He will be quite an addition to the strength of the squad. Griffith also showed an improvement over his playing from last year.

Best English IV Students Picked For Places In

New English Class

Under the direction of Major Brice a new class in English will be started for the first time. It will meet in the library and will devote its time solely to the study of the modern novel. The members of this class were chosen from the best students in the English departments.

This type of course is an experiment in the study of English. It has never been tried before at this school, and might possibly be classed as English V. How- ever, it is a substitute for the regular course in English literature, and receives the same amount of credit. The success of this course is yet to be determined, but one of the prime factors is that the students will be required to main- tain their ability in theme writing. The cadets who have been asked are those who have proven that they are capable of writing good themes and skilled enough to handle successfully the work in college English. The course, although devoted to American literature, will be planned so that it will cover all of the work necessary for colelge entrance.

Theme work is not to be required of the cadets taking this course. It is likely that even reports on the different books read will not be required. In spite of this, the study will be no easier than that of English IV, but it eliminates much of the written work required in that study.

S. M. A. Yearbook to be

Ready for Distribution by

The First Week in May

The editor-in-chief of the Blue and Gold, Cadet Zumeta, announced that the annual would be ready for distribution by the first week in May. All parts of the book are being rapidly completed to allow sufficient time for thoughtful re- vision. The staff of the Blue and Gold does not want last year's conditions re- peated, when it was found necessary to put out the complete book in a little less than six weeks.

The theme of the annual, which is one of school life at S. M. A., has been planned out in all details, and the draw- ings are such that they will head the academy, faculty, senior, military, etc., sections. A suitable design for the cover has been submitted and approved. The rest of the work of the book pro- gresses according to a fixed schedule, which permits the book to be completed with time to spare.

Although most of the positions on the staff have been filled, there are still many open, among which are the positions of literary editor in charge of senior write-ups, and that of humor editor. Any who wish to try out for these or any other positions may see Zumeta for details.

The position of editor-in-chief is held by Julio Zumeta, who has worked on the Blue and Gold staff in previous years and was assistant editor-in-chief ot the 1930 edition of the annual. Scott F. Alexander, who wrote sport news for the Blue and Gold and the Shrapnel last year, is assistant editor-in-chief this year. "Ted" Scholl, company sports editor of the KABLEGRAM, is in charge of the sports for the book. Don Rynn, who was editor-in-chief of his high school annual, is make-up editor. Cole- man, cartoonist for the 1930 Blue and Gold and the KABLEGRAM, was appointed art editor. Any men who desire positions in any of these departments may apply directly to these men. Many car- toonists, writers of senior biographies, photographers, clerks, etc., may still be used.

Burnham Is Elected Head Of Officers Club

The Officers Club Re-organizes After Long Period of

Inactivity

ROOMS OF SOCIETY TO BE IN ANNEX

The new Officers Club held its first meeting of the year last Thursday night to reorganize after not being active for two years. The club will have the two front rooms of the Annex for its meeting. These have been refinished and painted by the school for this purpose. The furniture from the old organization has been rounded up and will soon be put into the rooms. The club will open this afternoon.

At their meeting the officers of the club were chosen. Burnham was elected president; Gawler, vice-president; Zumeta, secretary and treasurer; Line- weaver, sergeant-at-arms; and Jackson, secretary in charge of policing the rooms. A house committee was also chosen from the officers. These men.

Cotillion Club States

Plans for a Bigger and

Better Social Season

Information just received from_ members of the Cotillion Club gives indications of an exceptionally good social season for the remainder of the year.

The first dance will be the Washing- ton's Birthday formal which will take place on the night of February the twentieth. To date, the orchestra has not as yet been selected. The Cotillion Club is negotiating with several of the high class orchestras, and there is no fear that the music will not be the best available.

The following dance will be an informal to be held on Friday night, March the thirteenth.

The Easter Formal, which is always one of great enjoyment due to the fact that many out of town Easter guests, together with the Staunton girls present, will take place in the old gym on the evening of Monday. April the sixth. Elaborate decorations and the hiring of a high class orchestra are being planned by the Cotillion Club.

The final dance of the season before the greatly awaited "Finals" will be an informal on the first of May.

Plans for the dances during the Com- mencement Exercises have not as yet been completed, but it is known that there will be at least two and possibly three dances.

Due to the fact that the orchestra for the formal dances are very expensive, running into the hundreds of dollars, the club has found it necessary to raise the price of the informals to $1.00. At the former prices, the club has just been breaking even on the informals and have been losing in the formals. The club members have been working hard and losing many priceless hours of sleep in losing many priceless hours of sleep in order to put over these dances, but without the co-operation of the cadet corps it is impossible. Many cadets complain of the music. Whose fault is it? None but their own. If they would only meet the Cotillion Club half way, it would be possible for them to procure better orchestras. It is estimated that if the majority of the corps would attend the informals it would be possible to obtain the best orchestra in the country for the formals.

A rare musical treat for the people of Staunton is announced by the Massa- netta Springs management. Tne world- famous Westminister choir under the direction ot Dr. John Finley Williamson, will give a concert in the Staunton Mili- tary Academy gymnasium on Wednes- day, February 11, at eight-thirty p. m.

This choir has sung before the crown- ed heads of Europe and is now both nationally and internationally known. It will be of unusual interest to witness a concert under the baton of Dr. Wil- liamson.

The Dayton Westminster choir was founded in 1920 by Dr. Williamson, who has been its director since its organization. Members have been added year by year; selected by the merit system from graduates of the Westminister Choir school. Only men and women are chosen who have consecrated their lives to the service of the Church through member has had three years' training, four hours a clay for three years in the choir school. A large number of the singers have been choir directors, or ministers of music for several years, giving the Dayton Westminister choir the finish, volume, and tone quality which, it is said, makes its equal, if not superior to any choral organization of its kind in America. Sacred music has been raised to new high standards through these concerts, says those who have heard these singers. No one doubts that church music can have artistry after hearing a Dayton Westminister choir program. The choir's distinction is threefold: in its well nigh perfect en- semble, in the sheer beauty of its har- monic effects, and in its spiritual character and purpose.

Mrs. LoRean Hodapp, will be one of the soloists in this choir.

While the choir was in Vienna a year ago, the Reichspost had this to say: "This concert was a sensation by reason of the great artistry of the interpreta- tions. The technical part of the rendi- tion is unsurpassable, the marvelous discipline, the rhythmlic exactness, the per- fection of dynamic shading—these qual- ities being under the conquering charm of a strong personality, produce an effect the might of which is indescribable."

Kablegram All-State Choice Compared With College Topics

In the issue of this paper on December 6, there were two lists of all-state prep school teams. One was the official team picked by College Topics, the University of Virginia's official newspaper, while the other was chosen by the KABLEGRAM. Although they were published in the same issue, the selections of the KABLE- GRAM were completed six days earlier than that of College Topics. This means that after a great deal of trouble and worry and with the expert advice of Captain Summers and the coaches of various teams which Staunton has played, the sport staff selected, what turned out to be, a team almost identical with the official choices.

Although the Kablemen are not the state champs they placed as many men on the official team as any other school.

Boxers Have Initial Matches Tonight With U. of Va. Freshmen

Second Quarter Exams

To Start on January 29;

Schedule Unchanged

The second quarter exams will begin Thursday, January 29, and will be in the same order as previous times. On Thursday will be held the Latin, chemis- try, and physics examinations; on Fri- day, the foreign languages—Spanish, French, and German as well as English; and on Saturday all examinations in mathematics will be held. In case of a conflict in the foreign languages, French will have the preference over Spanish and German. The schedule of exams will be posted upon the Chap- lain's bulletin board about ten days before the initial day, and it is requested that every cadet take special notice of this schedule, and therefore avoid much unnecessary confusion as to the room and the instructor where he is supposed to report.

Exemptions will be allowed this quarter upon the discretion of the instructor. To be excuesd any exam, one must have an average of at least 90 per cent, in that subject for the entire quarter. Even then the teacher may do as he sees fit.

At the close of the first semester on February 1, many new classes will be organized. New classes in algebra II (first half), plane geometry (first half), solid geometry, and trigonometry will then commence. A course in algebra III better known as college algebra, will also be organized if ten or more students desire it. There will be no classes in civics the second semester, but instead economics will be taught. The new classes in the language departments will be French I and II, Spanish I and II, and Latin I and II. Forms will be issued to all cadets at the beginning1 of the second semester, so that it can be determined how many of them desire to take any new subjects or make changes in their schedules. o

Records of First Division, New Set Books, Acquired by S. M. A.

Through the efforts of Col. Phelps, Staunton Military Academy has been fortunate enough to be given a set of the newly published books, World War- Records of First Division, A. E. F. This is a set of twenty-five volumes with several supplementary maps and charts. These books are the complete records of every order published or received by the First Division during the late war.

This record was published by the war department in Washington under the supervision of General Summerall, chief of staff. Only one hundred copies were printed, and these were to be placed in the Congressional Library, the war department, and the leading universities in the country. Due to the fact that three S. M. A. men had served in the war in this division, Col. W. M. Phelps, Major A. M. Patch, and Captain Barney Legg this matter was brought to the personal attention of General Summerall, who issued a special order stating that Staun- ton Military Academy would be sup- plied with this set. S. M. A., being the oidy secondary or high school in the country to have this honor, is very fortunate indeed to have this set added to the school library.

This set contains twenty-five volumes, which are about four inches thick. A large collection of war maps are also in- cluded. These charts are actual maps of the movements of the First Division during each encounter.

This set will soon be placed in the library and at the disposal of the cadets. These books will soon become almost in- valuable due to the fact that only one hundred copies were printed. In time this will be very valuable as a source of study in connection with the World War. o

First Call for Candidates of 1931 Debating Team Sounded

For the first time this year the candidates for the debating team met in Major Brice's classroom to organize for this season. Only eight men were present at the meeting, but Major Brice gave a short talk for their benefit. He outlined the routine that is gone through each year, and mentioned the changes that will be installed this year. Until this season there has been little preliminary work for debating. Speeches were written in the early part of March, and many times those who had written their speeches did not entirely understand the question. This year, however, it is in- tended that a great deal of preliminary work be done so that everyone out for the team will have a thorough under- standing of the question when the time for writing the speeches comes.

There are five steps in organizing a debating team that will be gone through

MYERS TROUBLED IN MAKING WEIGHT

Virginia F r o s h Are Set Avenge Defeat of Last

Winter

To

Tonight will witness the opening of S. M. A.'s 1931 boxing season, when the Kable mitmen go to Charlottesville to meet the Virginia freshmen team. Last year the freshmen gave Staunton one of the toughest contests of the season, S. M. A. winning only 4 to 3,- and that decided in an extra round in the heavy-weight bout at the end of the evening.

The first fights here will be with Greenbrier Military Academy next Sat- urday night.

Captain Taylor will enter in the match tonight what he things is his strongest team, which is as follows:

Morse, W. R Bantamweight Burton, B. E Featherweight Meyer, F. H Lightweight Ribinicky, J Welterweight Perini, Captain Middleweight Hanson, R. E Light-heavyweight Cramer, F. J Heavyweight

Coach Taylor hopes to be able to start the colorful state champion, "Shorty" Morse, in the bantamweight class, but there is doubt whether he will be able to train down to the weight limit. This, of course would be a disappointment, for he is a strong factor for the success of this year's team. If this unfortunate circumstance should occur, he is backed by the strongest substitutes that have ever been out for this weight in the history of boxing at S. M. A., by the following cadets : Robertson, H. F.; Morse, R. B.; Truesdall, W. H.; and Schwartz, W. F.

Robertson, H. F. has lots of power in his left hand, looks very good, and should give any opponent plenty of trouble.

Morse, R. B., brother to the famed "Shorty," of the first team, is good, but is greatly handicapped in age, being only fourteen years old.

Officers To Be Elected At This Week's Meeting

of W. W. Literary Society

The usual weekly meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Literary Society will be held tonight. Tonight's meeting will be one of great interest to members of the society, as well as many outsiders, as election of officers is scheduled on tonight's program.

The following are the offices to be filled : president, secretary, recorder, and treasurer. The nominating committee has nominated ;hree competent men for each position. It is the expectation of all that the officers of the society for the coming semester will fill their positions and complete their duties excellent- ly. With the exception of two, all those who have been nominated for office are men who have had considerable experience with the society.

The society now plans to start the new year off with a number of fine pro- grams. The members are, eager and enthusiastic to make this coming semester a most successful one.

Those nominations made in the last meeting of the Woodrow Wilson Liter- ary Society before Christmas were:

For President: Briggs, Fischer, and Zumeta.

For Secretary: Briggs, Brooks, and Mouris.

For Treasurer: Fischer, Steele, and Trentman. o

THE VOICE OF THE CORPS

More Leave Advocated for Academic Work

"This school is first of all an academic institution." How often have we heard Col. Russell, Maj. Wonson, or one of our teachers make that statement. And it is obviously true. The chief aim here is to prepare young men for college, the second to drill them in military tactics and discipline. Yet why are those who are proficient in the second phase given so many more extra privileges than the students who excel in the first ? It seems rather unfair, doesn't it? Yet it also is obviously a fact.

Lieutenants, sergeants, corporals, and even first class privates are all given extra leave, the amount vary- ing with the rank. Of the three academic orders, only "ninety" men are accorded any privilege's in this direction. Why should members of the second and third class be neg- lected entirely? Any man who makes eighty or above on all subjects is certainly doing the job which he was sent here to perform, eminently well, and should, in our opinion, be rewarded just as those are who have attained rank in the military department.

Then too, the boy who is a really proficient student does not have as much time to devote to military af- fairs as he might were he less dili- gent, and hence possibly does not advance in the military as fast as a fellow cadet who is failing academ- ically. Again, military advance- ment is rather a slow process, it usually requiring three or four years to become an officer, while the first year student has no chance for promotion at all. Why should not a cadet who is performing his real job here be given some recog- nition? We think he should, and below is a list of the leaves which we consider appropriate, modelled along those given by the military department.

Order of the First Class (ninety men)—Leave whenever desired. No leave blank required, but cadet shall sign in and out in a leave book kept in the guard house for

that purpose.

Order of the Second Class (eighty men)—One afternoon leave every week. One night leave every other week. Leave blank required.

Order of the Third Class (sev- enty men)—One afternoon leave every other week.

We think that "ninety" men should also be privileged to burn ten-thirty lights, just as the com- missioned officers, thus giving students who have proved their desire to study, ample opportunity to do so, and removing all necessity for studying in the afternoon, which .sometimes must be done to keep up a hisrh standing;.

Honesty

Many and frequent topics concerning this much-discussed subject have appeared, but no matter how often they are written nor how often appeals are made urging ad- herence to this golden rule, enough cannot be said for emphasis on this matter. It has often been truly-

spoken that no matter how low, mis- erable, or poor a person might be, he can at least be honest.

Honesty, perhaps the true sig- nificance of which might be a bit vogue really is the true revealer of a person's character. It discloses that

precious asset called "Will Power." Temptation, the destroyer of everything from individuals to nations, has often played, and will continue to play, the part of the devastator, ruthlessly sweeping all in its path to doom and destruction. This for- midable enemy of mankind will continue to degrade and annihilate until it encounters its equally potent enemy, Will Power. The battle resulting from the meeting of these directly opposite opponents is long and fierce. However, under the terrific and determined onslaught of the savior, Will Power, Temptation is overcome in most cases, yet there are times when the devastator suc- ceeds in overcoming its enemy.

If we but stop to consider a moment before we are tempted to do the wrong thing, and weigh the matter as the herald, Justice does, we

What do you think is the cause for the depression in business conditions all over the world?

W. K. S.—Self-confidence. When business prosperity was at is height, people spent freely, thinking nothing of the future and believeing that prosperity would remain indefinately. Then their beliefs were blasted and they immediately sought to secure their re- maining capital in a sound investment— i tanks—therefore, taking" much money out of circulation and causing others to do the same.

J. C. T.—Advertisement. Through the medium of the newspapers many people have been disillousioned as to the Holi- ness of the return of prosperity for quite a while. Is it any wonder that people who rely mostly on what they hear and read for advice- on the control of their purses should let go of their money when talk of the loss of prosperity for a while is constantly in the air. When people constantly predict that to buy now would cause sorrow later in spite of the appeals to buy now and help prosperity.

Anon—Over Production. In a recent address by the Hon. Benito Mussolini on this question he presented a very log- ical point of view on this topic. He states that it is very hard for the modern machines to produce and human beings to consume. It stands to reason that no matter how hard a human being trys to consume what the modern means of production produce, they cannot stand the pace very long. Hence, in or-

! der to alter the stampede of these gi- gantic replacers of human laborers, con- sumption must be emphasized and production cut down.

S. B.—Conservatism. After the first break in the stock market, people with- drew their money from the market and held on to it instead of investing it and helping the manufacturers. Hence, this attempt at saving did more harm than good for due to people's conservatism more capital was withdrawn from circulation necessitating the reduction of overheau expenses. With . expenses reduced less people were needed to hold down jobs, hence, jobs and even sup- posedly permanent positions grew less and less secure until, finally, things had to be reduced to the barest necessities only.

ALUMNI

They marry so young these days that the graduation gowns are made so they can be used for wedding dresses.

can usually analyze our wrongs and correct them before it is too late. After all, our lives are not exactly our own at our ages, for we owe a little debt to our parents who have gone through all degrees of sacri- ficing and suffering to insure our future. Perhaps, we do not realize, but it is often" only a moment's

misdoing and inconsideration that unmercifully tears asunder so many years of careful planning and hoping of many mothers and fathers the world over.

Unauthorized Weapons

Recently a very unfortunate oc- currence took place during an afternoon performance at one of the local theatres. One of our fellow cadets accidently shot and wounded himself and another cadet in the leg. Although the injuries sustain- ed were not serious, the outcome of the matter could have been very grave.

The possession of firearms by cadets in this institution, other than those authorized for use in the military drills, has always been forbid- den, and cadets are familiar with regulations concerning same. The president, when discussing the above unfortunate incident, emphasized the fact that hereafter when unauthorized weapons are found in the possession of a cadet, they will be confiscated and the owner se- verely punished. He said that any infraction of the rule against illegal firearms would be dealt with little regard for personal feelings.

Leonard Taylor, who graduated last year from this school, has recently been appointed an associate editor on the Boston Beanpot, of Boston University, where he is a freshman. This is quite a feat considering that he has only been at that school for just a few months, and it also speaks well for the caliber of boy that S. M. A. turns out.

Ta3'lor will be remembered as the editor-in-chief of the KABLEGRAM last year. He was also president of the Blackfriars. At the time of his graduation he was a lieutenant in headquarters with the hospital staff.

Cadet W. R. Morse, while on the train returning to the academy after the Holi- days, met J. Allen Shorthill, who sent regards to friends here.

Mr. Geo. E. Scherer, of Madison, N. J., a friend and honorary alumnus of S. M. A., is spending a months vacation at St. George, Bermuda. He will sail January 19th.

Wm. F. Wilkins, '30; Lloyd N. Emory, '30; F. W. Lemmon; James Bell; Brant W. Dilmore, '30; and O'Brien, all of the University of Virginia, were visitors at the Academy on Sunday. January 11th.

A. Judson Newton is a florist in Nor- folk, Va. He is married and has two children, and was a cadet here some years ago.

W. Kable Russell is in business in Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. Russell have been spending some time with Col. and Mrs. T. H. Russell.

T H. Russell, Jr. is a student at the University of Pennsylvania. He has returned to the University after spending the holidays with his parents, Col. and Mrs. T. H. Russell.

During the Christmas Vacation, the Post Chaplain heard from a number of cadets and "old boys" who sent their wt Iconic greetings.

From far away California came a greeting from "Dick" Hill, on which he write that he is running around with O. D. Kahler. He also says "Jeff" Ciay, Douglas Williams, Hanby, Tompkms, and other old boys are there. "Dick's" address is 512 Woodberry Rd., Glendale, Calif.

E. Hamilton Crabbs, '30, writes that he is at St. Stephens' College of Colum- bia University, working harder than he ever worked before, but believes it is good for him.

Alvin Morris is connected with the home office of the Equitable Life In- surance Co., in New York City.

Carl N. Christenson is making the best he can of the "depression" still hoping for better things ahead. The old days ol S. M. A. are very fresh in his mem- ory. Christenson says that Gillam Rice, '28, is living in East Orange, N. J., and is connected with the American Can. Co. Niel Broders.on is with the Congolium Co., in Kearney, N. J.

Basketball Capts. Named for Co. Teams

Anderson, Scholl, Furman, Wo- loz, and Pinney Named

Heads of Teams

Company basketball practice started two weeks before Christmas furlough and continued for one week after the corps returned. Last Monday afternoon

the first game of the 1931 inter-company basketball schedule was played. "B" Co. decisively defeated the Headquar- ters-Band team 35-9. The victors were leading at half time 13-2.

Captain Smythe is again in charge of Company basketball. He has selected five coaches for the teams in the league. Lt. Slattery coaches Co. "A"; Capt Bodie has Co. "B"; Lt. Howie—Co. "C" ; Lt. Cooksey—Co. "D"; and Lt. Gould Hdq.-Bd. Instead of playing games twice a week as in previous years, they will be played daily. Jerseys and pants are distributed before each game. Capt. Smythe urges that more men should try out for their company teams. The following captains and managers have been elected by their company aggregations:

Captain Manager Co. "A"—Anderson, J. B Buescher Co. "B"—Scholl, T. R Taylor, J. B. Co. "C"—Furman,. P. N Green Co. "D" Woloz L Huthsteiner Hdg.Bd.—Pinney Somyak

The schedule which the company teams will follow until the latter part of Feb- ruary is: ' Companies—"B" vs. Hdq.-Bd.; "A" vs. "D"; "B" vs. "C"; Hdq.-Bd. vs. "A"; "D" vs. "C"; "A" vs. "B"; "D" vs. Bd.-Hdq.; "C" vs. "A"; "B" vs. "D"; FC" vs. Hdq.-Bd.; "B" vs. Hdq.-Bd.; "A" vs. "D"; "B" vs. "C"; Hdq,-Bd. vs. "C"; Hdq.-Bd. vs. "A"; "D" vs. "C"; "B" vs. "A"; "D" vs. Hdq.-Bd.; "C" vs. "A"; "B" vs. "D"; "C" vs. Hdq.-Bd. c

"B" Co. Overwhelms Hdq.-Bd. Team in First

Game of Season; 35-9

Golden Sharpshooters Open Schedule With Gettysburg

- Last Monday afternoon the first inter- company basketball game of the '31 season was played. The "B" Co. team had little trouble in defeating and out- playing the Headquarters-Band quintet 35-9. The victors took an early lead which was never overcome throughout the endurance of the contest. The score at the half stood 13-2. After gaining a safe lead over their opponents, Capt. Bodie sent in parts of the second and third team for the remainder of the game.

Scholl was high scorer for "B" company while Pinney lead the Headquar- ters-Band players.

In a hard fought battle last Tuesday, "A" company defeated "D" by the count of 21-13. The five from the South Bar- racks took the lead in the second quarter, and held it throughout the entire game. The score at the half was 14- 8 with "A" company in the lead. Klep- per and Anderson stared for "A" company, while Cranor lead the losers in spectacular basketball playing.

On December 6, 1930, the first rifle match for this season was fired. The squad was beaten by the team of the Gettysburg College, of Gettysburg, Pa., by fourteen points, our total score being 1739, while theirs was 1753. Only five of the scores made by the team counted, although the whole team fired in this match.

Another match was held with Gettys- burg College on December 13th, an dthis time Staunton defeated them by 481 to 470 . This match was not fired in all four positions, but only in the prone. The best five prone scores were all that counted in this match, even though ten men fired.

In the last rifle match previous to the departure of the corps for the Christ- mas holidays, the local marksmen lost to the New York Stock Exchange Rifle Team by the score of 3563 to 3449. Ten men fired in this match, and in all of the four positions.

The match to be fired today is with Lehigh University and the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College.

"B" Co. Stages Second Half Rally to Defeat

Last Year's Champs

In a game played last Wednesday, "B" company won its second consecu- tive basketball victory from the South Barracks quintet, "C" Co., by the tune of 25-14. The game was not very spectacular, due to the fact that both teams missed many tries at scoring. Leonard played very well for "B" Co. by making many field goals and Benge played the best bail for the losers. The score at the half was 12-7 in the favor of the North Barracks basketeers.

BOXERS OPEN TONIGHT (Continued From Page One)

Another boy that looks very good, and can make the weight is Truesdell, W. H. It is expected that he will see action during the season.

Schwartz, W. F., can easily make this division, but is greatly handicapped in his height. It is doubtful whether he will see any action,1 this year, but he should stand it out as first string material next vear.

Captain Taylor was greatly dissap- pointed, and the morale of the team was depressed when Campbell, W. A. sprain- ed his right hand two days after the opening of school. He was the outstanding featherweight for thi s year's team. But the morale was again boosted in this class, by the faithful training of Burton. Burton is a very willing boy. He has not had very much experience, but he should give an opponent loads of trouble with the great amount of strength he has.

Tomanek, J. is another boy out for this weight. He is strong, able, and a capable boxer, but is greatly handicapped by his height, and has great difficulty in making the weight. It is doubtful that he can make the weight for the first match.

There are two other very clever and capable boys out for this weight, Bobay and Squelch. Both of these boys are lacking in strength, although they are strong enough for their present weight, which is 128 lbs.

It is almost impossible to say enough about the Lightweight Class of our team. The outstanding boy, and last year's team captain, is Meyer, F. H. He is, without doubt, the most colorful boxer that has ever been produced at S. M. A. in a good many years. He has lost bouts, and no doubt will lose a few again, but whoever beats him will have a hard fight on hand. He has been a large factor in the building of both last year's and this year's team. He is expected to graduate this June at which time the boxing team will suffer its greatest loss.

We also have a very able and capable substitute in this weight in Frazier, M. G. He is still lacking in experience, but packs plenty of power in his left hand. He is a left handed boxer, with good foot work.

The loss of Meyer, J. C, Freddie's colorful boxing brother, looked like a great handicap to our team this year, but fortunate in replacing him with Ribi- nicky, a very clever boxer, and one that had a great deal of experience before entering the school. He is naturally a lightweight, but he willingly volunteered to protect the welterweight division, which at the start of the year looked very weak, but since several other boys have come around so nicely, it is one of our strongest weights. One clever substitute for this weight is Van Avery, who worked with the team all last year. He was handicapped last year with a nose ailment and is ready for action, which, no doubt, he will get before the season closes. Another clever boxer in this weight is Wasson. He normally weighs around 155 pounds, but trains down to 149 lbs. Either of these boys will show up well when called upon. There is another very hard working boy out for this weight that is badly handicapped. He is Horlacher. This boy, like Tomanek, J., is badly handicapped by his height. He is strong and clever, but his reach is very short, and has great difficulty in getting close to his opponent. A boy of this type has trouble in short decision bouts, but has much stamina over longer periods.

The next class, middleweight, is cov- (Continued on Page Four)

Prospects for Good Season Seen for Men of Soccer Team

Starting soccer practice before the Christmas furlough with about thirty- five candidates out for the team, Lt. Wenger has bright prospects for a successful season. The squad worked hard for the first game with Manassas on December 6, but were doomed to disappointment as the game was cancelled, clue to bad weather. On December 13, there was a game scheduled at Occaguan High School, but again the game was cancelled.

There are prospects of games with both, Manassas and Occaguan in the near future, and Newport News, always a strong team, desires a game also. The games should be interesting as both Ma- nassas and Occaguan are reported to have strong and experienced teams, and Newport News has won several games this year.

Most of the material is green, but the boys have been working hard, and are developing into a strong aggregation. The past few seasons have not been so successful, but this year promises to be an improvement over the last. Soccer is comparatively a very new sport at this school, but it is developing a strong backing. o

Return of Corps From Homes Sees Four More Added to Rolls

Since the return of the corps from the Christmas furlough, two new and two old cadets have been placed on the rolls. The two old cadets, who are no doubt familiar to most of the old boys here, are Robert S. Abbott, of Chicago, and Spencer, F. F., of New York City.: The two recruits to enter at this time are William R. Worden, of Royal Oak, Michigan, and William Fred Birkle, of Brownsville, Pa.

Hyle, Zumeta, and Merring, will be in charge of all the decorating and furr nishing.

Plans are now unoer way for install- ing a telephone, and a radio in the club rooms. The club is also contemplating having a mailbox for th*'ir own personal use. At present, it is not known definite- ly whether these plans will be carried out or not, but from all indications such measures will be taken.

The reorganization has been made possible through the kindness and co-operation ot Major Taylor and Colonel T. H. Russell with the intent of building up a better spirit among the officers and cadets.

In the club rooms sabers, muskets, bayonets, shells, and pictures will serve as ornaments. Many old things are being gathered by the members for this purpose. A large picture of General Robert E. Lee has also oeen donated for the club rooms.

In their spare time, officers may go to the Annex. Even during their free periods they will be permitted to go to the association rooms. There they will have almost complete freedom to do as they please. This is no doubt quite a privilege, for usually, the cadecs that have permission to be out of day study hall are required to remain in their rooms.

COMPANY "E" NOTES

A "LITERARY DIGEST"

A Modern Priscilla crossed the At- lantic in search of an American Boy who had gone to help with the World's Work. Having good Success, she found the Country Gentleman leaning against a Saturday Evening Post and gazing at an Evening Star. He asked her to be his Youth's Companion and share his Farm Home, and Fireside. A Path- finder guided them to his home, where the Household goods consisted mostly of Needlecraft and old Farm Bureaus. The Current Opinion was that they would have an Independent Life for nearly a Golden Age, when she received a Dispatch from a Virginia Farmer, saying, Comeback. She laid aside her Red Book and said to her Woman's Home Companion, I'm going to leave this Cosmopolitan country and return to America and be an American Woman.

Football season over, athletics turn to basketball. The company's team this year is progressing along rapid lines. As usual, Lt. Walper is coaching the team with the assistance of Lt. Slattery. Lt. Slattery helped the football team, and now his interest in basketball is keenly felt and deeply appreciated.

Lack of interest by most of the boys is shown by the fact of the small number reporting for practice. Howevei. with last year's material, a strong team has been built up. From last year there are: Baker, W. E.; McGrael; Rug- giero, and McCullough. Other men out for this team are: Breeding, Trues- dell, Stanford, Eisler, Dodson, Kaul- back, Binder, and Molnar. Within a week, the first team will have been picked and a captain chosen.

Only one practice game has been played, and that was lost, but the opponents were much larger and had much more practice together. A tough schedule is expected, with the Charlottesville team as the greatest rival. There will be approximately ten games.

Co. "E" itself, has been reduced in size quite a bit. With the loss of one member, several not coming back, as yet, from the Christmas furlough, and many in the hospital, a considerable change is noticeable. Possibly some time in the future a few men will be granted to the company to fill in these vacancies.

DEBATORS START (Continued From Page One)

this year. First, there will be an ex- tensive study of the question by all pros- pective members of the team, and there will be discussions of the various phases of the proposition every week, and by the beginning of March, it is expected that everybody will have a complete knowledge of the question. This is, in itself, a very important factor. The next step is the outlining of the speeches. The cadets have very little to do with that, for Major Brice, who has had a gerat deal of experience at this, prefers to do it himself. The writing of the speeches is the third step, and it is uni- versally agreed that this is the most un- interesting and difficult step in the entire process. It is at this point that many if the candidates drop out. The next duty of rhe candidate is to memorize his speech well enough to be able to deliver it with the help of very few notes. And last, but not least in importance, is the task of learning the proper manner of delivering the speech. 1'his phase of the work is very ably coached by Captain Bodie. After all of the speech has been mastered, work on rebuttal is started. This is very important, because it is of little use to give a speech if one cannot refute the statements of his opponents.

The question is stated, "Resolved, that Circuit Court judges and members of the Court of Appeals of Virginia should be appointed by the Governor, subject to the confirmation of the General assem- bly." It has great possibilities for broad debate, but fortunately, there is not too much material for the question. As in the case of last year's debate, there was too much material for the debate, so that practically any lawyer could be quoted, and there was no means of questioning the quotation. Quite a bit of information has been obtained from the Uni- versity c.f Virginia, and it is most prob- able that the other schools, which en- gage in the debates, will obtain their material from the same source.

This school always sends over two teams—a negative and an affirmative

team. The success of either team does not depend in the slightest upon the other. S. M. A.'s record is an exceptionally good one, and is known all over the state. In the last six years Staunton has sent over four teams which won state championships. Last year, however, they were defeated, and it is our hope to make up for this defeat by a victory this year. We do not at present have enough material. The eight men who reported to the meeting are: Brooks, S.; Crawford; Greer; Grunwell; Maher; Shapiro, J.; Shapiro, R.; and Zumeta. Others who have expressed their inten- tion of trying out for the team are Fischer and Stark, M.

ered by our hard hitting team captain- elect, Perini. This is his third year with the team. His moving and hitting is faster this year than ever before and he appears to be in very good condi- tion. He is handicapped by a bad knee, but his loyalty and grit overcomes this disadvantage. The team is well protected in this weight, Stavin, C, training hard as a substitute for him. At present Stavin is having trouble in making the weight, but there is no doubt that he will be seen in action before the season is over.

The middleweight class is covered by two strong boxers, Hanson, R. E. will probably fight tonight. The corps will be surprised to see the improvement in this boy from what he showed in the company bouts. He now has good control of his right hand, and is working cleverly with his left. It is expected that he will make a good showing Saturday-

night. Bennett, M. B. has not been out since the holidays, but good results are expected from him before the season is over. He may be used in either class, the light-heavyweight or the heavyweight

Last is the heavyweight or unlimited which is protected by Cramer, F. J., and no doubt very capably. This boy has surprised the corps by his wonderful improvement. It is all due to his grit and willingness to learn. Many were in doubt as to this bo3''s ability to become a boxer at the start of the school year, but these opinions are changed now.
